Campaign history: It was in 1941, following a disastrous introduction to one Captain Carstairs, at that time a rogue S.O.E agent, and the ensuing (indeed, un-endorsed) Fort Wiedl affair, that Alexander Morgan joined the unofficial paranormal investigations executive known as P7. At Wiedl Morgan faced a terrible ordeal and his hunger to pursue independent research began to wane in the face of a greater responsibility towards the war effort, particularly after the classified experiences he endured. Following a period on leave he became a newly trained P7 operative, first employed on the fateful securing of the Government facility on Induction. The operation, though classed as a success, left Morgan broken, resulting in a truly debilitating mental break down, further leading to his time at ‘Haven’ – a progressive centre for therapy that encouraged the close study of Occult matters. It was here Morgan recovered after spending the whole of 1942 inoperative and under close observation. At the end of the year he returned to active duty on operation ‘Savant’, considered to be a powerful agent given his clearly unusual gifts in the area of Tibetan Shamanic studies. What occurred on the mission at Gurney Manor was immediately established as classified, although Morgan himself was commended and his name put forward in consideration for honours. Nevertheless, although he was one of only two agents conscious when secured at the end of the mission, it was clear he had suffered a third successive mental collapse. Alexander was found in a state of near total and incurable insanity. There was a glimmer of hope. The horrid details of his experience were to be revealed to his Psychiatrist, Dr William Fairgrieve, at the Grey Gates asylum, but his state became difficult to monitor in the face of so many psychological phobias and paranoias. If Morgan was ever to return to duty for P7 it would only be after major therapy – until that time he was to remain at Grey Gates. However, inexplicably all record of Morgan at Grey Gates has since disappeared, including Morgan himself. He was removed from the asylum (or escaped?) on 13th December 1942, and all for all intents and purposes is currently counted as MIA. P7 sources have begun to monitor SOE communications with Mongolian and Tibetan operatives to investigate reports of a Westerner seen with a group of monks in Spring of 1943. Rumours at the very top level of P7 have suggested this could be Morgan, but no confirmation has been possible since the Japanese invasion of China. If he has managed to reach Tibet, it can only be trusted that he is seeking to repair his shattered spirit Wherever his location and whatever his current state, it seems absurd that Alexander would see service again – only a desperate and belligerent P7 would risk using such an operative - and certainly not until he has escaped in some part from the memories of horror and the ever chasing tendrils of awful, oppressive dreams that surely must pursue his every waking and sleeping moment…
